Product Information

THE BOOK- Anne Karpf Polish born parents survived the Nazi Holocaust. Her mother a concert pianist and soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic when she was eighteen years old, wasa survivor of Plaszow and Auscchwitz. Yet when they came to Britain in 1947, the Karpfs found a world which did not want to hear about their experiences and did not seem to care. So they told their stories to their children, who came to feel responsible for their parents well being. For Anne the need to protect and nourish her parents took precedence over almost every otherimpulse stunting her development until finally, with the return of rampaging childhod eczema in her early thirties, her skin began to articulate some of her buried distress and anger. With the help of psychoanalysis she expored the ways in which her experiences had been coloured by those of her parents, met other children of Holocaust survivors and eventually, with the birth of her own child began to accept, understand and be proud of her heritage. The War After is a deeply moving story.
